Third Party Information

Third Party Information The WCC receives certain information from Third Parties that may be confidential. In compliance with Mississippi Code Annotated Section 25-61-9(1), trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information is not released until notice has been given to the party submitting the information. When the WCC receives a request to release Third Party Information, the owner of this information is notified of the name and address of the party requesting the information and the nature of the information requested. The requestor also receives a copy of this notification. The Third Party is given twenty-one (21) days from the date the Third Party is given notice by the WCC to either obtain a court order protecting the information as confidential or submit to the WCC a copy of the chancery court filed petition seeking protective order. If a court order or filed petition is delivered to the WCC by this deadline, the WCC will notify the requestor that the information is protected and cannot be furnished. If a court order is not obtained nor a filed petition for protective order submitted, then WCC shall release all information not protected to the requestor once the deadline has passed and payment for the information has been received from the requestor.
